MODERN sHANns I'M SOCIETY
The Many Deceptions and the
False Glitter which Ht COn-
tnKns-UnreMl Virtues.

Exchange.
Nothing ia so clearly apparent to
the intelligent observer OF modern
society as the many deceptions and
the false glitter which 1t contains
There are social circles into which
one may enter where the false and
deceptive find no place, but these are
in the minority. Glance at the aver
age society Of to-day, and there is
but little in it that is really what one
suppose it to be. How often is it
that we find men and women carry
ing Impressions of wealth and station
far beyond their real incomel Dignity
is found to be only prctension, re-
finement an artificial gloss, and in.
telligence but a verbal display. White
satin dresses are worn where the
planest muslin is scarcely within the
wearer's income; broadcloth, where
the simplest business suit, If honestly
paid for, would almost be draft
upon the revenue received, Flowers
are worn in profusion, jewelry loaned
and carriages hired by those to whom
the requirement Of the necessities of
daily life is a struggle,
Society, instead of being made
great compact designed to promote
the good Of man and woman is used
only as cunning contrivance to
palm off unreal virtues and give to
the unsophisticated wrong and in
jurious impressions. Host and hostess
share in tho general deception with
their guests, although neither is con-
scious of the others deceit. The
china on the table of the hostess is
admired and its possession envied by
her guest, while the former in return
is driven to a maddening inward
jealousy at the gorgeous garments of
her guest, The guest knows not that
the china is loaned, the hostess is
ignorant of the unpaid bill Of the
dressmaker. The furniture, heavy
poFtieres and expensive draperies are
examined with admiration, and so
fixed becomes the attention of the
guest upon the embellishments of
the home of her hostess that no room
is left in the mind for a suspicion of
a plan of purchase commonly known
as the ''installment."
The young man, with only eur
sorry knowledge of the cost Of fem
mime apparel, regards what is only
silk or satin as the richest
goods the market affords. The
young lady, In turn silently calculates
income by the flowers he
sends, and the full dress suit in
which he is arrayed. Her unframed
mind knows not the existence or
places where a lunch may be had by a
modest indulgence in beverage, and
where clothing is sold
for a night.

1 would not change one memory
In all my book Of life

would not change one memory
In all my book Of life
Tear out Que stained, discolored leaf,
Forget one pang Of strife.
The records OF my darkest sins
would not, could not, spare
They teach the power of saving grace,
And break my heart in prayer.
The sad mistakes that have made
Must blind my heart with tears,
As oft turn and ponder DER
The chapters Of the years.
Yet sweet as golden lines of joy,
Dear Lord, those gifts must be,
That give my vision wider range
And bring me nearer Thee.
By work that has been poorly wrought
My careless hand may learn
The highest truths of grace and skill
Far better to discern
So, what is written, let it stand,
Nor blot one word away
All things shall work for good to them
Who trust, and watch, and pray.
